so we have despoiled our environment in a classic way. that's why we have huge cleanup funds, that why we have so many problems. that's why we have to impose all kinds of costs on companies now to deal with this problem. so i'm not very hopeful. i don't think this is a system that has a place in it for us to seriously deal with the limits to growth, with the need to preserve our environment, to take care of our health as a people because we have a system that pushes forward with a kind of intensity that pushes those issues to the side. >> janet from woolwich, maine. >> if you could be president with a cooperative congress, what are the three most critical things you would do to ensure that we have a healthy economy that is sustainable, particularly in light of a growing aging population? thank you. >> i would pick the following number one, solve the unemployment problem. in a sense it's the most urgent one we have. if the private sector -- and here i'm paraphrasing franklin roosevelt in the '30s. if the private sector either cannot or wil

it's really challenging environment right now. what we're seeing is the retail economy is not doing that well. so fedex is having a tough go in the near term. it sounds like we'll get more aircraft retardants out of the fleet. that will be good for the cost structure. traffic up 20% this quarter. the ground business was up 10%. so doing very well if we can shrink the air fleet it becomes a much better story. >> you can shrink the air fleet, brandon, but it will have to contend with the fact that consumers, and fedex and ups talked about this in january. consumers are choosing cheaper ways to ship. they're willing to let things ship over a longer period of time. maybe longer in terms of the type of air they choose. and so i'm wondering if they're doing enough to combat the secular change in the business. >> well, that's a real criticism levied against the company. they have a really big ground work. and i think investors have excited about that. but we need a lot of aircraft for overnight dplifrry. be it domestically or from china.
